Municipal Affairs

Municipal Affairs, Volume 2 presents a detailed examination of urban governance and civic reform initiatives, primarily focusing on New York City during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Published by the Reform Club of New York, this volume delves into various aspects of municipal administration, including public works, sanitation, education, and public finance. The essays and reports compiled within offer insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by urban centers as they grappled with rapid growth and industrialization.

The book highlights the efforts of reformers and civic leaders to improve the efficiency, transparency, and accountability of local government. By addressing critical issues such as corruption, infrastructure development, and social welfare, Municipal Affairs provides valuable lessons for contemporary urban planners, policymakers, and anyone interested in the history of American cities. This volume serves as a vital historical record of the progressive movement's impact on municipal governance and the ongoing quest for better urban living.
